Bee Simulator

Really nice and cozy game. The story is a bit short (2 - 3 hours), but I really enjoyed exploring the open world. One thing I didn't expect was that the game is actually a little educational. You can learn some interesting facts about bees while playing, and the voice acting was a nice surprise as well. Is it worth the price? At the current sale price of €3.99, absolutely. I don't think the full €19.99 is worth it though. Personally, the most I'd pay would be around €5.99. Would I recommend this game? Yes, I would. If you're looking for a relaxing game to play for a few hours, I'd definitely recommend picking it up on sale.

Honestly, Bee Simulator was a lot cuter and more thought-out than I expected it to be. Going in, I wasn't expecting much from a game called "Bee Simulator", but I actually had a decent time with it. The bee gameplay itself is fine. Flying around, doing the different activities and following the story was pretty chill. The story is cute, although obviously don't expect anything particularly deep. The visuals and sound are alright too, and I really liked the bee's voice. The biggest problem for me was the chases. They were pretty frustrating, especially since they're basically the only part of the game that really feels timed. It felt a bit out of place in an otherwise pretty relaxed game. The other thing that really annoyed me was trying to 100% the game. There's no good way to see which activities you're missing. I finished the story, but eventually just gave up on 100% because I wasn't going to slowly fly around the entire map trying to figure out what I'd missed. Overall: cute game, better than I expected, and I enjoyed finishing it. But the chases and the lack of completion tracking dragged it down a bit for me.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable game that delivers more than you expect. Even after completing the main story line, I find myself coming back to play this game just for the joy and relaxation of it. To top it off, it educates in an interactive way.

Overall this is a relaxing simulator where you play as a young bee who wants to do more to help the hive than just collect pollen. It has quite a bit of educational substance to it as well, and some nice voice work. I mostly enjoyed flying around and exploring, knocking out some challenges here and there, as I moved the storyline forward. My main gripe with this game is the follow missions that force you to fly through rings at the same time, as well as maintain a proper distance from the NPC(s) you're following. The problem is that the NPCs don't always follow the ring path, and its easy to lose if you are too far behind or in front of them. Thankfully it gives you the option to skip after a couple failures. The main story is short, and can be finished in 2 to 3 hours, but for achievement completionists, you'll spend a bit more time in the game to knock those out.

Now I know, without bees we'll die fast
